Tarragon Chicken with Radishes

Radishes are so easy to grow in the garden, but there aren’t too many ways to use them up. Cooked like a root vegetable, they make a delightful accompaniment to this easy chicken dish. Multicolored radishes are especially attractive in this dish.

Directions

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Melt 11/2 tablespoons of butter and half of the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan and saute until browned on the outside and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side, depending on thickness of breasts. Remove chicken to a warm plate; cover and set aside.

Add shallots to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute. Add wine and chicken broth to pan and bring to a boil. Whisk in mustard and tarragon. Boil until liquid reduces by about half, 5 to 6 minutes. It should thicken enough to lightly coat a spoon. Stir in 1/2 tablespoon of butter and set aside.

Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add radishes, season with pepper and salt, and cook about 4 minutes, until radishes begin to brown. Flip them and cook 5 to 7 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. You’ll want them to be tender-crisp.

Cut chicken into thin slices and arrange on a serving platter. Top with the cooked radishes and spoon sauce over all. Garnish with tarragon and serve.

Hi Chris, you could, but there are two drawbacks. The first is that most grinders won't get you a grind as coarse as you can get with a mortar and pestle. The second is that you'd need to empty the grinder, before refilling it to measure out the proper amount of pepper.

Yes, if you use bread containing butter or eggs, this would obviously not be vegan. While you can usually find vegan bread at places like whole foods, a generally safe bread is a french style baguette as they typically don't contain eggs or butter.
